Pros

So I got the job and went over and above. Did everything no one else wanted to do. Took on more responsibilities than anyone in my team. Was loved and revered by my team and several levels of management.

Cons

HR apparently did an updated background check on me after 9 months of stellar work, and found some stupid stuff from 15 years ago. It's so old and stupid, the state of RI even appointed me as a Notary Public! I can officiate legal documents for christ sake, but AAA gave me the boot. This stuff's not new - it's 15 years old! Why is this a problem now? Why didn't you find this out at the BK check you supposedly did when you hired me?? They tell you you're family, and make you feel like they have your back. But when the time comes to show it, they're like different people. AAA has a lot of good stuff about working there. But I recommend you avoid them, because you will never know when they might can you for something you did decades ago!

Pros

Middle management is great despite bad upper management

Cons

My experience working at AAA-NE as a Life and Annuity Agent was deeply disappointing. The company culture felt unsupportive and, at times, toxic. Compensation changes were one of the biggest issues—they reduced commissions drastically, from 90% to 40%, and repeatedly said agents would be “made whole” within a year. That never happened. Instead, whenever concerns were raised, management would push the timeline back with comments like “hang in there until June,” then later “hang in there until January,” with no real follow-through. There was also no residual income on policies, and chargebacks were taken when policies canceled, which made earnings feel even more unstable. While the role was presented as having a flexible schedule, in reality management controlled when you worked. Expectations were also excessive, including pressure to respond within one minute. The internal Teams chat often felt more like a place for bragging than genuine motivation or teamwork. Morale suffered when agents were made to feel replaceable and treated like numbers rather than valued employees. Even after being a top producer and ranking #2 in sales, I received no appreciation when I left. In my opinion, the company lacked empathy and failed to value the people who helped drive results.
